This is an insump model. The recirculating A-series skimmers can be run externally. I've been looking at the A200-2X1260 for my 280. Just need to sell some frags to help out with the expense. :-)

I'll let you know which ones later today.

I have a question for those reefers experienced in having used multiple skimmers.

I have a OceanAquaitcs Skimmer, PM-Bullet 2 style (beckett)

I am thinking of getting the Deltec MCE600

Would you say this is a upgrade or a downgrade?

I have no experience with the OA skimmer. What kind of skimmate are you getting? How heavily stocked is your 50g?

I actualy have no way to utilize it right now. My 50gal has 1 fish, but of course I am going to add probably 3 more. Basicly the OA skimmer sits unused. I just want to know, will I be mad that I sold my OA skimmer when I can actualy plumb it? Or will the Deltec keep me happier

The Deltec MCE600 is touted as the best HOB skimmer on the market right now, but I still can't say that I'm 100% impressed with it. I've been running it for 2 months now, but I seem to be the only one that's not thrilled with this skimmer.

hmm, just not sure if I should keep my beckett for when I get a chance to plumb it because it will kick the Deltec's butt, or if I should just sell it.
